in thread Compile time problem

Thanks, FunkyMonk ... that looks like the "Aaaah, I see" moment I was after.

Does that "q{}" stuff work ok on 5.00505 ? (I don't actually have a 5.00505 to test with ... though I may yet build one.)

Cheers,
Rob

    Good point. I don't know when q{} (etc) made their first appearance in perl.

    Just use appropriate quoting and escaping if it doesn't work, but I'm sure some Monk will appear with the answer before too long.

      Guggug... q//, qq// and qx// have been present in perl4. At least in the patchlevel 36 copy I have here... ;-)

      --shmem

      _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                                    /\_¯/(q    /
      ----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
